I finally got around to seeing this movie. It is the tale of Desmond Doss a conscientious objector and Medal of Honor recipient. Pfc. Doss was a Seventh Day Adventist that took God's commandment "Thou Shall Not Kill" to heart. He would not even carry or train in the shooting of a rifle. He acted as a medic and in acts of heroism was credited with saving seventy-five lives during the battle of Okinawa.
This movie is typical of Mel Gibson. For those that have seen Braveheart and liked it chances are you will like this movie also. The travails of the main character in his attempt to serve without fighting are portrayed well. I would caution that the action sequences of the movie are quite detailed and bloody, as was the battle. Be forewarned.
